About Uncooked orzo
Uncooked orzo is a versatile, small pasta traditionally found in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Shaped like grains of rice, it is typically made from durum wheat semolina, which provides a good source of carbohydrates and some protein to fuel the body. Orzo is naturally low in fat, but it can be calorie-dense due to its refined nature, making portion control important for balanced diets. While it doesn't contain significant fiber, whole wheat orzo is a healthier alternative with enhanced fiber content that supports digestion. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, from soups and salads to casseroles and side dishes, making it a staple ingredient in many households. However, for those sensitive to gluten, opting for gluten-free versions is essential. Whether cooked as a pilaf or tossed with vegetables, orzo offers both nutrition and culinary flexibility for health-conscious meal planning.
